Find Breast Cancer Clinical Trials That Are Right For You

The clinical trials listed below are open in the U.S. for people with DCIS (stage 0), stage 1, stage 2, stage 3, or stage 4 (metastatic)
breast cancer. Clinical trials are available for people who are newly diagnosed with breast cancer, currently in treatment, experiencing
breast cancer recurrence, living with metastatic disease, as well as breast cancer survivors who have completed treatment.

Use the search box and filters to find a trial that’s right for you.

Imaging and Tumor Mark Tests to Monitor Metastatic HR Positive, HER2 Negative Breast Cancer

Randomized Non-Inferiority Trial Comparing Overall Survival of Patients Monitored With Serum Tumor Marker Directed Disease Monitoring (STMDDM) Versus Usual Care in Patients With Metastatic Hormone Receptor Positive Breast Cancer (SWOG-S1703) Scientific Title

Purpose
To study if blood tests that look for tumor markers are as good as or better than imaging with PET and/or CT scans (the current standard of care) to determine if a tumor is growing.
Who is this for?
People with metastatic (stage IV) hormone positive (ER+ and/or PR+), HER2 negative (HER2-) breast cancer who are planning to have first line treatment for metastatic disease or have started treatment within the past month, and have at least one elevated tumor marker.    Full eligibility criteria

PET/CT and MRI Scans After Surgery to Monitor Brain Metastases

Characterization of 18F-Fluciclovine PET Amino Acid Radiotracer in Resected Brain Metastasis Scientific Title

Purpose
To study the ability of PET/CT scans with 18F-Fluciclovine to help doctors monitor brain metastases after surgery compared to MRI scans.
Who is this for?
People with metastatic (stage IV) breast cancer that has spread to the brain (brain metastasis) who are planning to receive surgery and radiation. You must not have received whole brain radiation.    Full eligibility criteria

Using MRIs to Screen for Brain Metastases in Advanced Breast Cancer

Screening Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Brain in Patients With Metastatic Breast Cancer Managed With First/Second Line Chemotherapy or Inflammatory Breast Cancer Managed With Definitive Intent: A Prospective Study Scientific Title

Purpose
To study if using MRIs to screen for brain metastases (breast cancer that has spread to the brain) is safe and finds brain metastases earlier than the standard of care (no screening).
Who is this for?
People with advanced (some stage III) or metastatic (stage IV) breast cancer who will be starting their first or second chemotherapy for advanced disease.    Full eligibility criteria
